Heres my 80 Z28 street strip toy. I've owned it 11 years now. When I bought it, it was totaled. It tangled with an oak tree and the tree won, no contest In a nutshell, there was a tree sitting directly 4 feet in front of the passengers seat. It took about a year to fix the body/chassis damage & she was ready to cruise with the new yellow paint job. I cruised it around that way for a couple years, but it always got pushed aside for other project cars I needed to play with. About 6 years ago it got a total teardown again, I replaced everything but the paint (it was till perfect). It got a dual quad 350 and I hit the show car scene for a year with it-BORING! Time to go racing, so I changed a lot of stuff around again. As of last year, the car runs 12.60 at 108mph on the engine and 11.70 at 118mph on a small shot of nitrous. These times are in 100% street trim, as driven to the track. It would be easy to go a lot faster, but I actually drive the car and you have to make compromises somewhere I live in */W Michigan and have driven to, raced & drove back to Route 66 In Joliet, IRP Dragway in Indiana, Norwalk, Mid Michigan Motorplex In Stanton & Milan Dragway in Michigan all without any big issues. I feel thats quite an accomplishment as not many can say that! My local track is only 45 minutes away, thats where I test a lot & also break a lot of stuff (probably could build 2 more cars from the junk that didnt work or broke!). The cars stuck in the garage this year while I change a few things in the engine. The goals now are to run right at the IHRA rollcage limit of 11.49 and I'd like to increase mileage a bit. Its actually very good on the highway but horrible around town. Time for a overdrive tranny! Over the next few years I'll be hitting the body again, going back to a more original look & the original gold color it used to be. I'm very proud of this car, even though it kills me most of the time! I cant really ever see selling it. I've owned over 30 cars, some junk, most not, but this one got me


Heres my old NMCA EZ Street car. A lot of fun back in the day, but big budget guys kind of ruined that!


Heres an ongoing effort between a buddy & I. Weve been messing with this since the mid 90'*. 69 Camaro Super Gasser, 540cid Bowtie block, Big Chief heads, goes 9.12 at 149mph when unleashed.


I got more pics on my homepage, should be in my profile.

Love the rides, thanks for sharing

Other than the trans what motor mods to you hope to make to improve mileage and hit 11.5 in the quater?

Thanks PontiacDad! Right now I'm porting/polishing the heads. Also looking at swapping in some longer rods. Its got a pretty flat torque curve now, but I think I can flatten her out a little more I finally got around to making a air pan too, so the hood is finally functional. Should help a little bit more.
